Seattle --New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas has been declared inactive for Saturday's divisional playoff against the Seattle Seahawks. Defensive end Akiem Hicks is active, as is cornerback Keenan Lewis.

This is the second straight game Thomas has missed with a chest injury. Hicks was limited in practice this week with an ankle injury sustained last Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles, while Lewis practiced fully all week with a head/neck injury.
